There is tremendous synergy among mobile, automotive, and IoT applications and much potential using UWB. Given Apple’s new U1 chip and other OEMs now looking to provide UWB solutions in their handsets, UWB solutions will become more mainstream. Qorvo has strategically placed itself in the forefront as now being one of the leading suppliers of UWB chipsets.

Broadcom announced during its 2019 fourth quarter earnings announcement that it no longer regards wireless as its core business, but rather “stand-alone in nature due to their unique customers, technology and supply chain characteristics” as stated by CEO Hock Tran.

MediaTek announced their first 5G mobile SoC (system on a chip) this week, Dimensity1000. They also announced their partnership with Intel to bring 5G capabilities to PCs. Dell and HP have expressed their intention to incorporate MediaTek’s 5G solution in their laptops in early 2021.
As a mass-market mobile chipset maker, MediaTek traditionally followed industry pioneers after a new wireless generation introduction. Consider the case with LTE; when the first chipsets arrived in 2010, MediaTek was focused on high volume 3G chipsets. Their contribution to the industry had been to democratize technology by producing lower cost chipsets to enable affordable devices.

5G is here and the ecosystem is coming together for an explosive technology transformation. In the past the consumer was the primary benefactor of each generational upgrade, but going forward, the enterprise is expected to reap the rewards of 5G and how these use cases will change the way we work and live coupling AI and 5G, collaborating with value chain players and converging technologies. However, densification and a true nationwide network is what will spur the ubiquity of 5G. As this transformation occurs, the revenues will increasingly shift into 5G supply chain.

As the smartphone industry passes its decade-long run being the most popular consumer electronics of all time, the market is beginning to see signs of maturation and slowdown. Smartphone OEMs are now competing on innovations in form factor (i.e. the move to larger and bezel-less displays), cameras (i.e. biometric sensors and computational photography) as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) services...
